Does anyone know what this leaf plant is. I found it growing in my pepper pods right before transplant. Don't know if it's a fruit bearing plant or just a weed.

It looks like some kind of elm. Guessing a seed dropped into the pot carried on the wind. You could transplant it if you have space for a giant tree but I would definitely pull it out of the peppers as they will compete for water.
